This office boasts the most professional and friendly staff. Everyone welcomes you warmly and is very pleasant. Dr. Kramer expertly handled a tooth extraction that my previous dentist was reluctant to address. His assistants, Mariah and Rachel, were outstanding and made me feel incredibly comfortable. It was one of my best dental visits ever!

I was saved today! I was scheduled at a different locations for a wisdom tooth extraction. When I arrived at the location. The receptionist trashed my appointment for the second time and had no remorse of doing so. Any who Southwest Oral surgery stepped in after I cried from frustration. Anthony Kramer happily stepped in professionally dry my tears and saved the day for me. The office team was AMazing and came highly recommended by Fresh Smile Dentist on Manchester rd. Please call these doctors offices, they are so professional. For sure will be happy.

Dr. Brett H Waite and his team are phenomenal. I'm a very bad dental patient I'm scared to the bone, but this morning Dr. Brett Waite and his team just put out my fear. They took out 3 wisdom's teeth's "0" pain. I came home for lunch mashed potatoes and ice cream. I feel great and happy -Thanks Dr. Brett Waite .

I recently had a minor procedure completed with Dr. Oglander. While he did great with the surgery what really set him apart was the phone call I received later that evening after surgery. He called to check on how I was doing and offered some additional advice to ensure I remained comfortable and avoid swelling. He seemed to genuinely care how I was healing!

Dr. Hosch, Stacy, Sara, and Debbie, are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I was so insanely nervous to have my wisdom teeth out, but they made me feel so welcomed and relaxed. Stacy in particular, is a sweetheart, who genuinely seems to care about patients she interacts with. Dr. Hosch is also the coolest doc I've ever met! He even talked me through how to preserve my teeth after the procedure. All around an amazing team, and I couldn't be happier I chose them!
